So I read the article, and in theory there should be no passport checks with other EU countries either because of Schengen, but apparently they have "temporary border controls" since 2015 in violation of the agreements.

There's no special protection for LGTB, but sexual orientation is considered sensitive information. If you tell advertisers (implicitely or explicitely) whether a user is gay or straight, that requires explicit consent.

There are also passport checks when you fly to Norway from other EU countries. For flights between other EU countries you generally just show the QR code on your phone. At least that was my experience, but it's been a few years since

Do the people who use Chromium really sign into their Google account? If that's the case, you can just as well use Chrome itself. My assumption was that Chromium users would want a browser without all of Google's cruft.

Only Tesla uses a proprietary charging protocol. AFAIK other car makers in the US use either CCS or ChaDeMo. In Europe, all car makers (including Tesla) support CCS. CCS allows DC charging and has support for load balancing, so I assume it

I'm not convinced Tesla's passive safety features are better than those of other companies. Given the track record of Teslas crashing into stationary obstacles, I'm not sure if they even use cameras for emergency breaking, or

It probably makes sense to find one or two allies in the group (by talking offline) before proposing the change. I think that's how they did it for my older kids WhatsApp group. (I'm not sure because I was one of the obnoxious par

I doubt that any of these (except maybe one of the BSDs) would be a viable alternative in most cases where companies use the Linux kernel.

I think this mostly affects small groups. If the group is just 5 people, then one individual can prevent it. For bigger groups (eg. the parents groups of my kids school) nobody cares if one or two people don't want to move. Especially

I agree, the Linux kernel is one of the examples where the GPL really works, because a lot of companies really need it for their products, and they need to distribute it, and there are very few alternatives.

I think the implicit assumption is that you are doing the majority of the development, and you want to make money from licensing, and you want to be the only one making money from your product. So basically, the plan is to make money exactl

Have a look at PostgreSQL, SQLite, LLVM, Clang ... all these are projects that get a lot of support from proprietary software vendors. I'm pretty sure that the companies contribute to these projects because of the liberal license, no

I don't have any personal experience with foster children yet. My partner and I are planning to become foster parents, so I've spent the last two years or so reading a lot about fostering, and we also took a course to prepare us.

Everything that I've learned about foster care tells me that removing children from their surroundings is a traumatic event, and should be only a last resort. In many cases, there are a lot of things that can be done instead of just ta

I think E14 bulbs are just too small for high power output. I only use them for accent lights that don't need a lot of power.

I think that in general foster families are better than group homes. The problem is that most children shouldn't be taken away in the first place.

Because it means that if you buy a fixture with built-in LEDs and a more reliable power supply it'll be a very reliable light. The problem is that trying to cram a tiny power supply and a hot LED chip into a small bulb without a good h

There is a huge variance with LED lights in my experience. LED bulbs from Ikea are cheap garbage and die quickly. 220V 10W E27 Osram bulbs are pricey but reliable (but I don't have as many of them, so maybe I was just lucky). I've

You could make the same argument for the iPad. But they do sell cellular iPads. In my experience, personal hotspot on my Macbook takes about 30 seconds to connect, and it sometimes just fails to connect altogether. It disconnects when I clo

Almost every place that has a projector also has an HDMI cable installed. I haven't used a CF card in the last 10 years or so, but SD cards show up frequently. (Cameras, Rasberry Pi, Prusa 3D printers). For the Raspberry Pi I needed to

I really hope that you're right, but to be honest I'm not holding my breath. I also don't think the 2015 Macbooks were perfect, it's just that I don't care about any of the new things Apple has introduced. What I wo

The nice thing about my 2015 Macbook Pro is that it's useful without any accessories. I can just throw it in a bag and walk out the door. It's got enough battery life that I usually don't need to bring a charger. It has all t

Importantly, HDMI will be around for projectors. Almost every meeting room and every class room everywhere in the world has a beamer and an HDMI cable on the desk. I don't think this is going to change in the next 5 years. It took more

A "back door" is any kind of mechanism that was added by the vendor to circumvent security mechanisms. Back doors are typically not disclosed to the user, and can't be turned off. So for example an automatic software update m

16 year olds circumventing age verification to sell explicit content of themselves is a problem, but at least they are doing it voluntarily.
